I was assigned a lakefront cottage that was extremely spacious and quite comfortable. There are more modern, and more fully outfitted, condos but I enjoyed the scenic view and quite setting of my cottage. Pilgrim Pines is a venue that hosts a variety of visitors. There are summer camps, conferences and, likely, retreats but my visit was with a group of hikers and artists who stayed on property from Sunday through Friday. Meals are held in the main dining room and are served buffet-style which made it easy to enjoy what I wanted and to the leave the rest for others. Guests are expected to place dirty dishes and glassware in a bin which makes for a quick and easy clean up. There is a 2 1/2 mile loop around the lake that can be enjoyed during a leisurely walk or a more ambitious run. There are also trails and dirt roads/paths nearby for additional outdoor excursions. The water was a little too cold for my tastes but the lake seemed to be inviting and would certainly provide a smooth place to canoe. There is a small store on property with hours that vary according to need. It offered a lovely selection of toys for children, sweet treats, Christmas ornaments and other holiday decor, jewelry, original paintings and some items representative of the region. Definitely worth checking out if you can manage to be around when staff opens it up for business. Every staff member I encountered added to the overall enjoyable experience of staying here. It was always easy to strike up a conversation or ask for any assistance. A lovely chapel on property did double duty as a morning yoga studio and an evening presentation spot for guest speakers. The real highlight of the stay, particularly after an exhausting day hike, was the shower. It had great water pressure and hot water that helped to make the muscles feel much better. Due to the religious affiliations of this property alcohol is off limits. Guests are welcome to enjoy the books, games, puzzles and even the TV found in the main lodge but for me the chance to enjoy the outdoors or just curl up with a book in my little lakeside nook was all I needed!

He loved the games they played, and took advantage of all of the opportunities offered. He learned to shoot a gun, sail, kayak, ropes course and so much more. When we picked him up he immediately told us he definitely wants to go back this year and he is already signed up. He is now considering being a camp counsilor when he's older. He said it would be a great way to spend the summer. Thanks Camp Takodah for so many memories. And, a special thanks from this Mama. I was very nervous about my boy being away for so long, but the pictures you posted daily were fantastic gave me an inside view into his daily life and kept my anxiety at bay. Looking forward to another great camp experience!

The organization in general is not well run. I have two children that went on the American…read moreHeritage Tours in 2017 and 2019. In 2017 my child didn't really talk about the experience except that he liked going with his friends. The 2019 experience for our second child was eye opening. As usual all parents must attend an orientation. So my child went on the tour and came back completely unimpressed. She felt rushed, the food wasn't that great and the hotels were below standards. Also when she got home I noticed numerous bug bites on both of her arms. Since they had not gone away after several days we went to Convenient MD in Keene. Come to find out the were Bed Bug bites. As soon as I was told what these were we called Takodah YMCA to complain. Finally after 3 months we just gave up.

Offers traditional overnight camp, a day camp, and a junior camp that falls somewhere in between the two. Excellent programs for kids to learn with, and have fun at the same time!

Camp Waubanong is a place that to many children (and even some adults) becomes like a second home. Literally can it recommend enough. Five stars isn't enough to do it justice.

My wife and two teenage daughters were none to happy however the campground we were staying in recommended these helpful folks. After calling to let them know we were coming down and 20 miles later, one of the techs was actively working to replace the fitting and water test the system. They even freed up an external drain valve and got that working too! Within 30 minutes were off and on our way to our fun destination of day after charging a fair price for their service.
